Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Document that provides for common and repeated use - rules - guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results






2. Measure of schedule efficiency on a project. ratio of earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). SV = EV minus PV.






3. A component of work performed during the course of a project






4. Processes required to track - review and regulate the progress and performance of the project - identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required and initiate the corresponding changes.






5. Document that describes how procurement processes from developing procurement documentation through contract closure will be managed






6. Source of variation that is not inherent in the system - is not predictable - and it intermittent. also referred to as assignable cause.






7. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity can start - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






8. Logical relationship where initiation of the work of the successor schedule activity depends upon the initiation of the work of the predecessor schedule activity






9. Identifying early and late start dates as well as early and late finish dates for the uncompleted portions of project schedule activities






10. A group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually.






11. Describes when and how human resource requirements will be met






12. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






13. A histogram - ordered by frequency of occurrence - that shows how many results were generated by each identified cause






14. Budgeted cost of work performed






15. Total amount of time that a schedule activity maybe delayed from its early start date without delaying the project finish date or violating a schedule constraint.






16. A short unique numeric or text identification assigned to each schedule activity to differentiate that project activity from other project activities. typically unique within any one project schedule network diagram






17. Developing a document that formally authorizes a project or phase and documenting initial requirement that satisfy the stakeholders needs and expectations






18. Analytical technique to determine the essential features and relationships of components in the project management plan to establish a reserve for the schedule duration - budget - estimated cost or funds for a project

20. Number of labor units required to complete a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component






21. Calculated projection of cost performance that must be achieved on the remaining work to meet a specified management goal. ratio of remaining work to funds remaining






22. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






23. Requirements imposed by a government body. government mandated compliance






24. Collect project performance data with respect to a plan - produce performance measures and report and disseminate performance information






25. Document that specifies in a complete precise verifiable manner the requirements - design behavior or other characteristics of a system component - product - result or service






26. The formally documented identification of a defect in a project component with a recommendation to either repair the defect or completely replace the component






27. Developing options and actions to enhance opportunities and to reduce threats to project objectives






28. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






29. Document used to record and describe or denote selected items identified during execution of a process or activity






30. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






31. Structure in which the project manager has full authority to assign priorities - apply resources and direct the work of persons assigned to the project






32. Hybrid contractual arrangement containing aspects of both cost reimbursable and fixed price contracts. time and material contract have no definitive end - can grow. units are preset by the buyer and seller.






33. Provider of products - services or results






34. Launching a process that can result in the authorization of a new project






35. The merging or joining of parallel schedule network paths into the same node in a project schedule network diagram. characterized by a schedule activity with more than one predecessor activity






36. Implementing risk response plans - tracking identified risks - monitoring residual risks - identifying new risks and evaluating risk process throughout the project
